Installing Ariadne


At present this means you have to unzip the ariadne.zip file to
the root of the C drive.  Double click on the zip file and select
c:\ as the destination.  This puts all the files in the correct
places.  They are all in the c:\ariadne directory.

You also need to download the jre file too.  This runs the JAVA
programming language.  Get it from
 http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
and you select the
 Download JRE 5.0 Update 2
option.  Accept everything. It should offer to save the file
  jre-1_5_0_02-windows-i586-p.exe
(or some such file starting jre) somewhere (anywhere will do, its
installed somewhere else) and then just click on the file when you
have it all. Just double click on the file and accept everything
it suggests and it will install itself.

To test the programme click on the
 c:\ariadne\ariadne.bat
file.  In the input window just click on the calculate button and
see if you get a network based on the test file
 testsimple_svpdist.dat

Call me if there are problems,
